100+ Head-Fier
In the interest of honesty, I have a large collection of both headphones and psychiatric illnesses. I have crippling depression/anxiety, high functioning autism, and schizophrenia. It's not fun.
I always read about people not getting past their 10th song because of ear fatigue, and sure, with some sibilant or overly bassy speakers or headphones I've gotten ear fatigue, but for me the killer is emotional fatigue.
I'll explain- I can't listen to songs without intently listening to the melody, the lyrics, and FEELING the music. I feel the emotion the song is putting out. I try to avoid overly sad music but even happy music gives me fatigue after awhile. It's not my ears hurting or my head, it's my heart. I feel too much. My uncle and my grandfather always told me I feel too much. I can't help it.
Does anybody have any advice for ways to listen to music without FEELING it so intently? I still want to pick apart the lyrics but i don't want to end up in tears after my 10th song because I have amassed a big bag of emotions from all those songs.
I hate my brain. Help me.
